Just so you let him know you will listen to his side of things, allowing for the possibility that the other boy may be generating a lot of the tension here.shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-74809098545804266482009-02-12T08:10:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:10:00.000-08:00Wow.

Sometimes she plays with two neighbors, but only when they have no other friends available. Its heartbreaking because I know she could be such a good kid, but she doesn't get the whole "treat people right" philosophy either. Then she complains that the other kids are mean because they won't play with her. Its awful. I thought childhood was rough, but trying to mold someone else's childhood is way worse.Lynn C Mama to 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/05342036087073401778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475652659521783747.post-81188007053782663382009-02-12T05:02:00.000-08:002009-02-12T05:02:00.000-08:00Do you think that part of it might be he's just no...Do you think that part of it might be he's just not being bullied (manipulated) by the other kid? <BR/><BR/>I don't want my children to be bullies but I do want them to stand up for themselves. <BR/><BR/>Ugh, it's so hard! <BR/><BR/>I'm stumbling with HRH now as well.

My oldest is six and in first grade. And, ...Sigh. My oldest is six and in first grade. And, of course, I correct him constantly (that's what moms do!) but it is tricky to decide how much to become involved. <BR/><BR/>I actually had another mother acuse my son of being a bully earlier in the year. I was horrified, as you can imagine. As far as I can tell, my son was just standing his own ground (no blows, just words) but it is still upsetting. I had been trying to foster a relationship between our two boys, but my son finally told me that he didn't want to play with the other kid. So, they don't play together anymore. <BR/><BR/>I think at these ages they are still learning a lot of social skills. I think its awesome that your son was able to use the words "anger management." Anyway, he's right! I think most of those anger management classes are about handling things that should have been worked out on the playground, but they never found the right "tools". <BR/><BR/>Ooops. I should stop. Good luck.MIT Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793376511596741906noreply@blogger.com
